Throne of Vientiane Civilization

As a veteran member of the Great Zhou, Shi Lei is one of the few generals with experience in mountain warfare.

After all, he was stationed in the mountains back then.

However, he commanded mountain warfare when the Great Zhou was still in the tribe and city-state period. His experience at that time was undoubtedly outdated.

Over the years, with the replacement of equipment, the combat mode has long changed.

On the other hand, the dwarves in the Copperforge in front of him have lived here for generations, and their relevant experience is naturally advancing with the times.

Seeing this, Shi Lei also used it without any courtesy.

The main reason is that this defensive method itself does not have any technical content. To put it bluntly, isn't it just a change from smashing wooden beams on the wall to throwing wooden beams to attack with the geographical advantage of the hillside?

Shi Lei is strict in military discipline, and his soldiers have always been very efficient in execution. They act immediately after receiving orders.

However, in this process, Shi Lei soon discovered that this simple change really has a few tricks.

It is different from throwing a wooden pole down from the top of the wall.

The top of the wall is stable, and the soldiers only need to put the wooden pole on the top of the wall and push it down.

But the mountain is not stable! The wooden pole is very heavy, and the risk is already increased when the soldiers carry the wooden pole. Under this premise, you have to make a forward throwing action. If you are not careful, even the people will fall down together!

At this moment, Shi Lei fully realized why the dwarves had to go to such a trouble to get such a wooden cart for such a simple operation.

Fortunately, under normal circumstances, the defensive pressure on the edge of the area they are responsible for garrisoning is not great.

The greenskins did not send too many ogres to their side.

Shi Lei drove the "Eye of Insight" and scanned a circle, a total of four.

"Pass my order, let the soldiers responsible for throwing wooden poles not worry about other greenskins, and focus on attacking the four ogres, and smash the four ogres down and it's done."

As his thoughts flew, Shi Lei made a quick choice.

With only four ogres to lock onto, the pressure on the soldiers who were responsible for throwing the wooden spears was greatly reduced. With the slowed pace, the risk of accidents that might occur would naturally decrease.

"You learn quickly."

Just like Shi Lei was observing the battle next door, after the alarm sounded, Balai, who arrived at the top of the wall of the next defense line, was also observing the situation on the Da Zhou side.

As the commander-in-chief, Balai normally sits in the rear command room to dispatch and command. This time, he changed his usual routine and came to the front line in person. He was undoubtedly trying to observe the battle of the Da Zhou troops and confirm the strength of the other side.

In case of any problem, he could dispatch troops to support in time.

Balai was not disgusted with Shi Lei's operation of learning and applying it on the spot. To some extent, this proved that the other party was flexible and flexible.

Mountain defense battles are different from ground defense battles. If they are not adjusted according to the actual situation and the ground set is completely copied, they will inevitably face the situation of not adapting to the local climate.

While Bale was thinking this, he soon discovered that there was a new move on the Great Zhou defense line.

"Is that a catapult?"

This discovery made Bale frown slightly.

The main value of the catapult is reflected in the destruction of the enemy's city walls. In a defensive battle, it is not very useful, not to mention that the target is still the greenskin...

Bale, who thought Shi Lei was flexible before, was now directly confused by this move.

For a moment, it was really a bit hard to figure out whether the other party was reliable or not.

In the eyes of veterans like Bale, this deployment was a bit lacking in common sense.

Just as Bale was thinking this, outside the Great Zhou defense line, a row of "catapults" had been laid out and launched an offensive in unison.

At that moment, the loaded "boulders" drew a long parabola and smashed towards the greenskin troops that had advanced to the halfway point of the mountain.

Bale was speechless the whole time, and the dwarf general who was in charge of commanding the front-line operations even showed a bit of a joke.

However, in the next second, a sudden roar rang out, shocking the hearts of all the dwarves, including Bale.

Then, before they could react, the violent roars began to sound continuously.

Accompanied by the amazing explosion, a large area of ​​green skin was blown into a bloody mess on the spot.

Bale was paying attention to the battle situation on the Great Zhou side the whole time, which also made this scene appear in his eyes almost at the first time!

At this moment, Bale and the dwarf officer next to him opened their eyes unconsciously a little.

"Fire, gunpowder?!"

After a short stagnation, Bale's emotions suddenly became excited.

"Oh hell! That's not a catapult, it's gunpowder! They actually have gunpowder?!!"

Excited to the end, the expression on Bale's face even had a bit of disbelief, but he had to believe it.

At this moment, the iron-clad facts were placed in front of him.

The Great Zhou troops were throwing gunpowder with catapults, bombarding the advancing greenskin troops crazily!

Those greenskins had obviously never seen such a scene before. Even the big guys with a single-minded mind were stunned by this wave, and the entire momentum of the advance was curbed to a certain extent.

During this period, Shi Lei, who was standing on the wall and observing the situation on the Great Zhou defense line, expressed satisfaction with the effect of this wave of bombing.

Initially, he didn't plan to use the demolition vehicle. After all, the explosive bomb was the most expensive of all the consumable weapons in their Great Zhou.

Once the bombing started, their war losses would begin to rise rapidly.

This went against his initial support ideas.

But Shi Lei had to admit that as a commander, it was indeed the first time for him and his troops to face such a large-scale greenskin invasion.

They had just arrived, and if they made mistakes and had a bad start, it would undoubtedly bring some bad effects to them.

For this reason, before his soldiers adapted to this level of battle, Shi Lei felt that it would be better to use the demolition vehicle to reduce their defensive pressure and boost their morale.

As for whether they would be discovered by the dwarves...

The blasting bombs made such a big noise, it was impossible for the dwarves not to notice it.

But Shi Lei didn't care.

As long as this battle was still going on, it was only a matter of time before their Great Zhou's weapons and equipment were exposed to the dwarves.

According to the current situation, the dwarves could not do anything to them.

Even showing this skill can increase the deterrence of their Great Zhou to a certain extent, which is more conducive to the subsequent cooperation and getting along.

After all, being low-key is low-key, but you can't let others think that you are a weak chicken who can be easily provoked and bullied!

It is still necessary to show off your muscles appropriately.
